man, that is sick.
I just got my 03 silver touring and am starting to think about ideas. All these beautiful customs are peaking my interest. Key is to make a budget, and get the best price/performance ratio you can for your money i think. I'm still int he begining stages. Gonna save and dream up some ideas for a while yet. ANyways bros, beautiful work. Congrats

Just a couple of pics for now. I want to start off by saying this is probably one of those things you're either gonna love or hate. You really have to see it in person. We finally put everything back together and finished about midnight Sat. morning. Got to bed around 1:45 and woke up at 5:45 to meet some others in the club to go to AutoFair Sat. and Sun. Initial reactions from everyone who saw the car were
I think they were one of the deciding factors in me winning 1st place. One of the judges actually came by, after the fact, several times with different people to show them my car.
I ordered the factory heated seat switches to control the monitors. One switch turns the monitors on and off, while still retaining video on my head unit. The other switch controls the led's on the interior of the car. The led's aren't totally finished yet, they didn't arrive in time to install those as well before the show.
Keep in mind, I seem to take terrible pics.
Monitor, vinyl wrapped flush panel, and vinyl wrapped inside trim panel.
Screen in flush panel
Inside cover panel.
Finished product, view from exterior.
OEM heated seat switches controlling the monitors and led's. I need to get a dummy cover for the center knockout hole.

Just an update with some new interior pics:
Painted entire center console now. Removed and recovered knee pads. Painted pc. in front of knee pads.
Pic of back hatch. Rear wiper and motor was removed. Shaved big hump in plastic cover where motor was for smooth finish.
Painted entire center console now. Covered lid of storage with Burnt Orange as well. OEM heated switches control monitors and led's. I need a dummy cover for the center hole though.
Headliner covered with Burnt Orange. Sunglass holder and lights painted to match interior. Visors wrapped and vanity mirrors painted to match.
Passenger side view.
With door open.

I like that, "god of burnt orange interior", all hail!
You know, the BO Ebrake handles, I don't think we'll ever have a chance to get our hands on. It's been almost 3 months, just to get pricing. Maybe it's made by Do-Luck, cause my kit is never gonna come in either.
